Hi,

        I need to build a RS232/RS485 converter powered by the PC
serial port only.
        Have googled for schematics but cannot find nothing useful,
just commercial products.
        Can't it be done using just transistors or CMOS ICs for
lower power consumption?

        Thanks for any information.
        Mark Jordan
